Local churches team up for trunk-or-treat event

SPRING HILL — More than 300 trick-or-treaters are expected to attend a “trunk-or-treat treasure hunt” hosted by three area churches: Spring Hill United Methodist Church, Trinity United Methodist Church and Thompson’s Station United Methodist Church. The event will take place from 3-5 p.m. Sunday in the Trinity Church parking lot (3011 Longford Drive in Spring Hill).

“This event is Halloween-inspired but with a bigger message,” said Rebecca Brandon, Children’s Ministry director at Trinity Church. “The event will center on the great treasures of the Holy Scriptures. Of course, there will be plenty of candy to enjoy as well.”

Nine stations will be offered around the church parking lot. Stations will include a trunk of treats, game, snack or craft. Each visitor will be given a bag with a treasure map to help guide them from station to station. Stations will also feature a theme such as “David and Goliath,” “Daniel and the Lion’s Den,” “Noah’s Ark,” Jesus’ Birth and the Resurrection Story. Older children and youth will be invited to participate in a pumpkin decorating contest.

“Our prayer is that anyone looking for a church home will consider this an open invitation to get to know each of our congregations,” said Brandon.

Visitors are also invited to bring nonperishable food items to help meet food needs in the community.
